The finely stocked bar at Fernhill House will enjoy an extra
bit of pizzazz every month – thanks to its membership of a craft gin club.

Residents can enjoy sampling a specialist gin every month – and carrying on
testing it until stocks are depleted.
But never fear – there’ll be another one along soon!

And creative hospitality manager, award winning chef Chris
Williams, used this month’s mystery consignment – Honeybee gin - to create a mouth-watering take on
the traditional Eton mess - Fernhill mess, the recipe for which is below.

The ethos behind the gin club is to enable members to sample
small batch, rare gins from around the world which would not be available
anywhere else – least of all in
the supermarket!

With Fernhill House’s all inclusive price policy, residents can
not only quaff as much gin as they like – but meals, wine, tea and cakes for
themselves, family and friends whenever they fancy – without paying a penny on
top of their monthly fee.

Friends and family are positively welcomed to join their
relative for a cocktail, craft gin, three course dinner or afternoon tea and
cake whenever they fancy.

Begin by
mixing the raspberries, gin and sugar together so the raspberries are covered
and slightly macerated.
Next
whisk the cream until it is firm. Fold the raspberry mix through the cream and
then crush the meringues into the mix and give it a final stir.
Finish with finely grated lime zest and voila!!
